Offset raycast origin!

Hi guys! I hope someone can help me because I'm from a while stuck on this.

I need to change the raycast origin of the ray casting from the character. Here is the code

Code (CSharp):

1.     wallRay = new Ray (transform.position, transform.forward);
2.             RaycastHit hitWall;
3.             Debug.DrawRay(transform.position,transform.forward, Color.red, 2);
4.             if(Physics.Raycast(wallRay, out hitWall))
5.             {
6.                 if (hitWall.collider.tag == "Walkable") {
7.                     positionToMoveTo = hitWall.collider.transform.position;
8.                     StartCoroutine("PositionChanging");
9.                     Debug.Log ("Muro!");
10.                 }

I tried everything I found on the forums but can't find nothing that I can make it work -.-

any help will be appreciated! thx!

 

Which direction are you trying to offset it? If you replace the wallRay line with...

Code (csharp):

1. wallRay = new Ray(transform.position + transform.forward, transform.forward);

this will move your origin in the character's forward direction by 1 unit.

 

http://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Ray-ctor.html

note the parameter names "origin" and "direction", so as Iron-Warrior points out, altering the first parameter changes where the ray comes from.

 

I'm trying to move it upward on the y axis because at the moment is casting from the character's feet

 

well thank you very much! I did it using transform.up instead of transform.forward. Everything working now! But I'm curious about...what if I want to control the units? I mean like...at the moment is up by one unit; what if I want like 0,5? creating a new vector 3?

 

Thank you guys.
